On Monday, many charity teams from Da Nang, Quang Nam, and Thua Thien-Hue arrived in Le Thuy District to assist residents devastated by the flooding.
Le Van Son, Vice Chairman of the Le Thuy District People's Committee, said that some relief groups contacted local authorities to offer assistance. However, due to challenging heavy rain and flooding, the district asked for a temporary suspension of charity activities to ensure the safety of those involved.
"We're greatly grateful for the support from these volunteer groups. But, the floodwaters in many residential areas remain high, and relief teams aren't familiar with the terrain, posing significant risks to their safety," Son emphasised.
According to Son, rescue teams have been assigned to be on duty 24/7 in flooded areas to assist residents when necessary.
Earlier, 99 households, comprising 373 people, were relocated from the severely flooded areas.
